My understanding was that one can always opt-out, but I wanted to verify this information.
When it comes to TSA rub-downs which I've witnessed, the haraSSSSment rub-downs for adults and the strip-search machine opt-out rub-downs were mostly the same.
If a haraSSSSment target wants to throw the TSA into a flurry of confusion over its own procedures and policies being in conflict in practice -- which further exposes the TSA HQ's clownish foolishness -- then the haraSSSSment target should travel alone with an infant or toddler and do so without a stroller at the screening checkpoint.
